Hordes of Boxtalgia

A Tiny Zombie Survival

Hordes of Boxtalgia is a third-person, top-down zombie survival shooter where endless waves of cute, blocky undead close in on you. Try to stay alive in simplistic, diorama-like arenas with agile movement in this fast-paced chaos.
Accumulate points, combos, and kills to unlock and upgrade your arsenal. With 10 different weapons, from a trusty pistol to a heavy rocket launcher. Create your own style of survival!
Set up traps with oil barrels, spikes, and landmines, or hit fireball-throwing demons in the face with your sniper rifle rounds, or simply with your sniper rifle, as the hordes literally BOX you in. How long can you last?

This game is directly influenced by the old but famous web game BOXHEAD.

Welcome

Hello, this is the first game I make and it's a passion project I am anxiously excited to share with everyone! I have been wanting to play BOXHEAD again and relive my childhood for a long time, but at the time I couldn’t do it. So I wanted to make it myself and now I'm sharing it here with anyone who may want to give it a try and have similar nostalgia again.

Thank you for checking it out and hope you don’t encounter any unexpected behaviors and have a great time with my game!

Development Status

The game is still being improved and I am accepting any feedback and adjusting them accordingly!

The core gameplay is completed, the whole weapon progression might be changed in the future and may be changed multiple times if I am not satisfied with the whole gameplay difficulty progression. 

The UI was not the priority so it's a bit simplistic currently.

Please do let me know your thoughts and what you’d like to see improved or feel dissatisfied with.

What I plan to work on:

• Prettier UI, leaderboards and title design
• A map with only fireball demons 
• More props and decorations on maps
